Class History On a bright September day in 1936, twenty-six frightened children climbed up the hill to L. H. S. to enter the first grade. Miss DeLong greeted us on this morning and we all enjoyed being in the first grade with her. Of these twenty-six, Virginia Clouse, Eloise House, Delores Horner, Alan Krantz, Don Houston, Boyd Lance, Bill Manke, Robert Strouse, Dean Hopkins, Robert Vandemark, and Jack Warner are the originals who have been with the class for the past twelve years. Mrs. Whitney was our teacher in the second grade and Furman Bowers joined the class. Miss Vanasdal was our teacher in the third grade and Miss Clinker taught us in the fourth grade. Betty Berry joined the class during the fourth year, The next year we really “ruled the roost’’ because we had moved upstairs to the fifth grade. Miss Edwards was our teacher and Georgia Hoff joined us. Miss Blust was our sixth grade teacher and gave us the “finishing touches” for our famous jump to the high school building. The eventful day in 1942 found us in the high school building with the days of recesses in the past. We were pretty big shots now changing classes, having the front seats in assemblies, using the library, and forcing the school to order a new supply of detention hall slips. Vera Flanagan joined us this year. Miss Odiorne was our home room teacher. Mrs. Lindecamp was our eighth grade home room teacher and Lewis Aukerman, Tom Leatherman, Roger Ripley, Merle McDaniel, and Jeannine Ziegler entered the class. The next year we were Freshmen and the mighty Lafayette students Don Burkey, Bette Haller, Vanda Mann, and Gloria Lutsch joined the famous class of ‘48. Frank Clover also joined us that year. Mrs. Lindecamp was again our home room teacher. Eylaine Pickering joined us during our Sophomore year and this was the year that we ordered our class rings. Miss Clinker was our homeroom teacher. The day of October 6, 1946 was a very exciting one for the class, for it was on this day that our class rings arrived. We finally got over all the excitement and settled down to work on our class play. Our play “Dait Bait’’ was a great success. Bill Burnett joined us this year. Mr. Dowler was our homeroom teacher.

Finally the day had come — we were Seniors. We had added Floris Snider to our class roll, making twenty-seven of us digni- fied Seniors. That bright day in September of 1936 seemed like only yesterday; those twelve years really flew. Miss Sechrist was our homeroom teacher. We have had many happy years in L. H. S. and are sorry we have to go. It was nice while it lasted. But it's ended — so now “good-bye.” Twelve Years Ago Those still with the class are: Row 1: Boyd Lance, Robert Strouse, Virginia Clouse, Eloise House, Robert Vandemark. Row 2: Alan Krantz, Don Houston. Row 3: Delores Horner, Bill Manke, Jack Warner.
